I am deeply saddened to have just learnt of the crash but am hugely privileged to have had him as my instructor. I have been back in the UK since late 1999 and still fly R22′s. I still rate Guy as the safest intructor I have ever flown with and such a talented natural teacher.
I have the Photos of he and I after my first solo and completion of my PPL(H) on my study wall.

Heart felt condolence to his family.

Kind Regards
MIke Barker

He and my brother were very close friends for a while. I know they lost touch over the years. Another old friend of Guy’s looked me up to let me know of this tragedy. I know years ago Guy was very interested in flight; I’m glad to hear he spent his life doing something he loved. I’m sorry for your loss.

Sorry to hear of Guy’s death. Though I didn’t know him, I do know what it’s like to lose a friend in an aviation accident, and the sense of loss and perhaps some “self-doubt” moving forward. The loss can be especially tough when it seems that a pilot “does everything right”, and still falls victim to circumstances beyond their control.

Again, very sorry to hear of this. Hopefully, we will be able to find out what happened, and use it as a learning moment for all of us.

-Avi
